Score 87/100 · Neal Martin, Feb 2025

Readers will know that I am a fan of Clos Floridène Blanc, particularly in cool growing seasons such as 2021. However, the 2022 is clearly hampered by the warmth that summer. It has a simple nose that lacks vitality and tension. It's not flat, but it feels rather anonymous aromatically. The palate has respectable weight but needs more complexity. There is a pleasant oily texture and it finishes nicely with orange pith and apricot. It's a good white Graves but not in the top league.

Gorgeous aromatics, this has focus and lift, and I love the clarity of citrus and pink grapefruit on the opening. Carefully balanced, with grip and slate freshness tasted out of the heat of the year. Lovely stuff from the Dubourdieu family.

The 2022 Clos Floridène Blanc is an airy, gracious white from the Dubourdieu family. Lemon peel, flowers, chalk and mint are some of the many that take shape in this charming, utterly delicious white.
